The B525 is a good and more advanced LTE router than the B315. They both look the same with minor addons here and there.

In terms of speed the B525 gives you speed up to 300mbps download and 50mbps upload, whereas the B315 is 150mbps download and 50mbps upload but works pretty well and should do the job and is cheaper that the B525 LTE router.

Thanks man, just waiting on the end of the month for Afriscum's debit to go off and then I'm saying good bye. I'll come back to this thread with regular updates on my Cell C experience till cancelation and once I get the Telkom sim, be sure to expect some screenshots to be posted of my speeds.

Hi don’t waste your money on a new router. The Huawei B315 will work just fine on Telkom, at the moment there are many many people struggling to get anything more than 15mbps download. Buying a router that can handle faster speeds is useless if the LTE network is struggling including Telkom , Cell C , Afrihost etc etc..

I got a call from from Cell C Today and I was advised that the matter will be escalated to the networks department and will be contacted. I have not received a call from the networks department as yet however I ran the usual test and the speed has improved tremendously(see below).

@bheinche I have not even tested the MTN APN settings as yet. I will test though and see which one is better. Will keep you posted. Thanks again.

Seriously? How can things get worse instead of better when people complain in droves? This is now ongoing for more than 48 hours throughout the day, time of day doesnt matter. Thank the gods my cancellation is set for month end but dont think you can still slack on service levels because people decide to leave instead of fight for a simple service we pay for
